Presenter: Carl Pritchard

Carl Pritchard is back in his home state of OHIO! And no surprise, (since he wrote the risk chapter of PMBOK 4 and the Risk Management Memory Jogger) he's talking risk. Carl dives headlong into five traits of risk management that can make all the difference in your practice, and can make you the resident "risk person". He'll examine the need to be:

Concrete – Being a stone wall when it comes to tolerances
Calculating – Leveraging the mathematics only when it makes sense
Considerate – Considering the cross-project, cross-community and cross-organizational
implications
Clairvoyant – Playing the game five steps ahead
Chronicle – Becoming the resident historian

In his engaging style, Carl will bring along a host of stories, weaving in everything from the
Italian cruise ship tragedy to the Titanic as he examines practical ways that you can ensure you're
making the best investments of your time in risk management.
